I have always been a huge fan of Guinness but recently have started branching out and trying new stouts on the market. The Lion Stout brewed in Sri Lanka wasn't my first pick, but a man in the aisle described it as a "smile in a bottle." I couldn't resist trying it — who doesn't love smiles?! This beer definitely has a warming affect with 8 percent alcohol but will be perfect for those up-and-coming cold Winter months. The beer is full of malty roast flavors accompanied by a strong coffee flavor. If you are looking for chocolate undertones, this isn't for you, but if you are a coffee addict like myself, you will love it. I would suggest drinking it with food since it is pretty strong and can go straight to your head. Any stout fans out there, have other suggestions for my taste tests?
